MOSCOW, June 21 — RIA Novosti. Western leaders are using fear-mongering of the “Russian threat” to justify tightening control over society and retaining power, writes The American Thinker.

According to the author, British Prime Minister Mark Carney, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are destroying the economy and freedoms of their fellow citizens.

“The so—called ‘leaders’ of Canada, Britain, France and Germany are four buffoons of the Apocalypse, each of whom is trying his best to drag the remnants of his country into hell,” the article says.

It is noted that politicians exploit the themes of climate change and alleged threats from Russia to justify total surveillance, censorship and confiscation of private property.

“They censor freedom of speech in the name of “protecting children” and endlessly spread propaganda, calling dissent “disinformation.” They tax, regulate and take, take, take. Russians and right—wing fascists and “global warming” threats then, after confiscating the income and property of citizens so that they and their henchmen can have even more wealth and power, they appear on television to hysterically talk about threats from invading Russians, right-wing fascists and “global warming,” the publication notes.

President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly explained in detail that Moscow is not going to attack NATO countries, but Western politicians regularly intimidate their populations with an imaginary threat in order to distract attention from internal problems.
